figure competitions

[kryptychyck]

Hello,

I just had some questions for those who currently compete or who are training to compete in figure competitions:

1. Do you use a figure coach?
2. If so, where or how did you find your figure coach?

I am in the Philadelphia are and I have treid searching online for a figure coach local to my area and I have not been successful. I have found a coach in Ohio who works with people online - which would be okay. However, I just wanted to get some feedback or hear from those with experience before I contact an online coach.

I am not necessarily looking to compete - but I would like the challenge of the training and of course the results.

Thanks for your help.

Read what Tneah posted in this thread. The O/P was asking about competitors as well and Tneah gave her a name of a trainer:

A lot of health clubs have one or two trainers whose specialty is helping people prep for competitions. Especially larger clubs & chains. I go to NYSC & we have a great guy there named Zeke who's constantly pestering me to compete but I'm too lazy to do the work, I don't have the discipline for the diet, plus I'm a little too shy to put on 3 inches of material, oil up my body & walk out on a stage in front of 100 people (even if they are just friends & family of the competitors).

Anyway, check out your local Philly Sports Club, or any other large club in the area, they probably have a trainer who's dedicated to the competition thing.

You should also check out Cathy Savage's SOS Training program. Just do a google search - or check out the Oxygen Forum's training log sections as there are many women over there doing the program.
